Junior Benefits Manager – Financial Services
My client are a top Financial Services firm based in London’s West End.
They are looking for a Benefits Specialist, either at Associate level or Junior Manager level with strong UK knowledge and ideally experience in EMEA and APAC as well.
This role will also cover Global Mobility so any experience of this will be very much desired.
Almost uniquely for clients in this Private Markets sector, they are open to people with backgrounds in sectors other than Financial Services, although they have met a few people from the Big 4 and been underwhelmed.
The Candidate:
Must have at least 4 years experience in UK benefits.
Must have some experience in APAC benefits or EMEA benefits or both
Must be willing to learn new areas where their skills are lacking.
If they don’t have Global Mobility experience then they must be willing to learn.
Personal Attributes:
Must be smart, intellectually as well as in appearance. This is a top organization and they expect their employees to look the part.
Must be flexible. A good example of this is making yourself available to interview, even when it is difficult.
Must be a strong and concise communicator. So no long CV’s and no long winded explanations.
Must be prepared to work Financial Services hours. These are not insane, but a 9-5 is not to be expected.
This will probably be 4 days in the office and 1 from home.
